Hi all,
is there a way to pass to a report the filename of a csv as variable, to use it as lookup file ?

Example:
| savedesearch my_report file=my_file.csv

where
my_report
| some search
| lookup $file$

Yes, your report should use same variable/field name that is passed by savedsearch command.

my_report

| some search
| lookup $file_name$

Call this report like this:

| savedesearch my_report file_name = my_file.csv
